Northern Virginia NTRAK will set up and run trains on a T-TRAK layout. T-TRAK is an N scale modular train system designed to be run on table tops, hence its name. Originally developed in Germany in 1962, N scale model trains (generally 1:160) are about half the size of HO trains (1:87). Its small size is popular among model train enthusiasts in Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The modular aspect of N scale permits different track layouts for every set up.

Craft Day! Whirling Wonders!
Announcing Family Craft Day!
On Sunday, June 29th from 1 to 4 pm join our Craft Experts at Fairfax Station Railroad Museum for Whirling Wonders!
Unleash your creativity and bring some spin into your day with our delightful Whirling Wonders!
Create a DIY Pinwheel Craft. This fun and easy project is perfect for some summer fun. Just like the wheels on the train, the pinwheels you can create will spin gracefully in the breeze. Or make a 'flower' pinwheel stake for a garden pot, even a pinwheel wreath. Not all will spin, but the beauty of what your family will create is sure to fill all with joyful memories.
We will provide you with step by step instructions no matter what version you choose. This craft sparks the imagination, works on those fine motor skills, and encourages artistic expression. All supplies are are included, one craft per person while supplies last.
Get ready to create your own Whirling Wonders and watch your worries spin away! Regular Admission Rates apply.
Help Keep Us Chugging Along ~ We can't do this without you. Do you have a passion for trains, love to create, or have great ideas, We Need YOU.
We have openings for new railroad hands and would love to discuss volunteer opportunities with you during your next visit or right now by filling out the form on our new website!
